Mac challenger: Nvidia RTX Spark HP mini PC previewed with ConnectX-7 ports, up to 128GB RAM

While the new HP OmniDesk Mini Desktop PC was unveiled as the world’s first "Mini AI PC" to feature Thunderbolt Share, the company’s first RTX Spark-powered mini PC somehow went under the radar in the first few days of Computex 2026. However, the wait is now over, as we can share hands-on images of HP’s RTX Spark mini PC, which might just have the boldest design of all new Nvidia RTX Spark-powered mini PCs announced at Computex (from Asus, Dell, MSI, and Lenovo).

What's interesting is that HP hasn’t decided on a name yet. As bizarre as it sounds, none of the reports from Computex 2026 mention a name for the mini PC, while HP’s press release for the new OmniBook Ultra 16 and OmniBook X 14 explicitly says the mini PC is indeed on the way but doesn’t share a name for it. On top of that, none of the ports on the PC are labeled, which signals we might be looking at a prototype of the final design.

HP's new RTX Spark mini PC has a bold new design and Nvidia ConnectX-7 ports, but it doesn't have a name yet

Speaking of ports, the I/O layout of HP’s RTX Spark mini PC is similar to other RTX Spark mini PCs but, at the same time, it stands out due to the inclusion of two proprietary Nvidia ConnectX-7 ports. Whether the data-center-grade ports will remain on the final retail version of the PC or they are exclusive to the units showcased at Computex remains to be seen. Perhaps HP is planning to launch two completely different RTX Spark mini PCs (and this has something to do with the whole naming mystery).

The I/O on HP’s RTX Spark mini PC is as follows:

• 4x USB-C ports (none of them are labeled; at least one of the USB-C ports will support PD/charging)
• 2x Nvidia ConnectX-7 ports (the large, distinct ports on the far right)
• HDMI port
• LAN port
• Power button

Nvidia RTX Spark platform - key specs:

• AI performance: Up to 1 petaflop (FP4 precision).
• Unified memory: Up to 128 GB LPDDR5X.
• Memory bandwidth: Up to 300 GB/s.
• GPU cores: Up to 6,144 Blackwell CUDA cores.
• CPU cores: Up to 20 Arm-based cores (Grace microarchitecture).
• Up to 12K video editing, and 1440p AAA gaming.

As the story with all new Nvidia Spark RTX laptops and mini PCs goes, HP is yet to announce pricing and availability for its nameless RTX Spark mini PC. Strangely enough, while the naming mystery stands out, HP is one of several OEMs refusing to publish press releases on their new RTX Spark mini PCs, even though they were officially revealed at Computex 2026.

All in all, the hardware marketing around Nvidia's new chips seems to be rather lackluster following Computex 2026. That's somewhat bizarre considering these new mini PCs (and laptops) are supposed to be game-changing for the prosumer Windows market and even rival Apple’s super-popular Mac Mini and Mac Studio.
